Before Shi Dalang's wife could finish her words, her husband slapped her again. This time, the swelling worsened, and she could barely open her eyes.
She knew she and her sister-in-law had ruined everything. Lowering her head, she trembled, afraid her husband would hit her again.
Standing on the side, Shi Qiwan was no longer crying. She only looked at her family coldly. Clenching her fists, she said, "Vice Team Leader, I want to report my family for slander and ruining my reputation."
With the addition of their abuse and attempted murder of Mother Shi, they would be imprisoned for years.
An Xuyuan looked at her and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Shi Qiwan nodded and said, "From the day they sold me to an old man for money, I had severed my relationship with them. The Shi family's matters have nothing to do with me anymore."
"Since that's the case, let Comrade Han help you with the report. As for the Shi family, tie them up and send them to the police station. Just report what they said word for word, without adding or omitting anything," An Xuyuan said.
With his order, the production team staff members quickly tied up the Shi family members and sent them away. After handling the matter, An Xuyuan left the office and headed to the granary.
The weather was good, and the soil was ready. The only thing left was the seeds. He needed to check their germination progress. Once they were ready for planting, the autumn planting schedule would be set.
Half an hour later, Shi Qiwan left the production team's office with unsteady steps. She was angry and hated her family for what they had done to her.
But thinking about what her brothers and their wives would face in the future, she still felt uneasy. With the added news of her mother being on her last breath, she felt exhausted.
She didn't even know how she managed to walk back to her dilapidated house and not notice someone was following her. Sitting on the balcony, she hugged her knees and lowered her head, crying out all her bottled-up emotions.
Outside the house, Liu Pan watched from a distance. When he saw her finally stop crying and go inside, he turned and walked away.
Even if he no longer had feelings for his ex-wife, she was still the mother of his children.
After hearing what had happened at the production team's office, he came to check on her, only to see her walking home in a daze. So, he followed her back, fearing that she would do something stupid.
Since she had calmed down, Liu Pan finally felt at ease. He hoped that today's events would wake his ex-wife up and make her see her family's true colors. In the future, he wished she would change her ways and live a better life.
